Repliweb Software Became Unsupported Tech on January 31, 2022
NOTE: Coviant Software upgraded Diplomat MFT with features like data replication, file synchronization, and support for simultaneous file transfers to make it an even more apt replacement for RepliWeb. Check out our dedicated RepliWeb page and our Technical Product Page for Replication for more information.
Earlier this year we told you that the clock is running out on a popular file sharing software product and that it’s time to replace RepliWeb. It all started when Qlik purchased Attunity back in 2019 and, as is often the case, some popular products end up getting trimmed from the acquiring company’s portfolio. To Qlik’s credit, they have been forthright in their communications and have let their customers know that they will no longer support RepliWeb as of January 31, 2022.
If you are responsible for managing your organization’s IT, it is not a good idea to ignore those warnings. When a product becomes unsupported tech it’s not uncommon for threat actors to take advantage of the risks that inevitably crop up. It’s even worse when the products involved are vital for the management and transfer of data. The consequences can be dire.
Managed File Transfer: the Unsung Hero of Data Management
One product that some Attunity customers liked was RepliWeb MFT. Managed file transfer is an under-appreciated but essential function of a data management program, and there are a number of enterprises out there that must now embark on the thankless product review journey as they seek to replace RepliWeb before the January 31, 2022 deadline.
It’s important to know you can rely on a software platform to securely handle the task of sending and receiving files—often containing highly sensitive information. The siren song of in-house, do-it-yourself file transfer solutions has lured many a ship to founder on the rocky shores of data breach island, and so when an IT manager, CIO, or CISO finds a secure managed file transfer product that is easy to use, features process automations, supports all the right protocols and web storage services, and has built-in encryption, the investment is more than justifiable. (Especially when it’s the best value in the business.)
